When you get to the end, you cut the fold and flatten it out, and bring the ends together again, sew, clip, flatten, sew, etc. for a total of 5 times. Here's what mine looked like when done. Shocking, isn't it??? :shock:
That is very interesting! What are you going to do with your strip top now? You could cut out 60 degree triangles and then sew together to form a hexi, then use a background fabric. Like Bennett did with the spider quilt seen here:
